Hi Karsten That's it! I just have to call Activate after disabling the parent wnd. Thank you very much

Right, but the OP is trying to catch WM_CREATE, which has occurred long before the first DDX_Control() call.  Mark Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ :java:

Hi Ralf, your tip works perfectly for me! Thank you very much !!! Greetings

Oh, sorry, I didn't finish my thought in my earlier post. It would probably be easier to draw the entire thing yourself (that's where I was going with the "so it looks the same on all OSes"). Use some other control like a button that has an owner-draw style, and then do all the drawing in response to the WM_DRAWITEM message sent by the control. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~!

Hi, thank you very much. You're right. I have found my problem. I had implemented a handler for WM_CHAR where my editbox content is formatted. To process WM_COPY commands I must call the base class procedure for WM_CHAR for nonprintable characters like this: void CMyEdit::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags) { if(isprint(nChar)==0){ CEdit::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags); return; } // Further processing here } Now the OnCopy implementation is called ! :-)

when you have to post some code, use the <pre></pre> tags instead of bolding the text... :suss:

I had the same issue. And now, thanks to your suggestion it works. I switched from: m\_toolTip.AddTool(this,ttwtext.c\_str(),cr,1); To TOOLINFO ti; ti.cbSize = sizeof(TOOLINFO); ti.lpszText = (LPTSTR)last\_ttwtext.c\_str(); ti.hinst = AfxGetInstanceHandle(); ti.hwnd = this->GetSafeHwnd(); ti.uFlags = TTF\_SUBCLASS | TTF\_IDISHWND; ti.uId = (UINT) this->GetSafeHwnd(); m\_toolTip.SendMessage(TTM\_ADDTOOL, 0, (LPARAM) &ti); Thanks!
